history of aom

AOM began to work and to
play in march 2007.

We, at that time the
avatars maxxo klaar, paco mariani, miulew takahe, dethomas dibou, bingo
onomatopoeia
and
vit latynina had been teeming up
during
december and january 2007 to make a live performance at the Pomodoro
Bolzanos
Art Birtday celebration on the 17th january. During this time we where
discussing
alot
about future collaborative works combining music.

So we
ended up at Dorkbot Second Life first meeting on the 19th february
2007. There
we met maximillian nakamura that presented this meeting.
We came to discuss about collaborative works and about gathering more
avatars
to perform pieces in orchestral format like possibilities to make a
virtual
Vicky Mosquitos in this new orchestral concept in SL and the Fadheit
piece
that maximillian
introduced.

We
started to form the idea of doing a Vickys Mosquitos #13 at the
Art.Think.Box /
Netherbeck of Pomodoro Bolzano. Harold Schellinx (aka hars hefferman)
supported
this idea to make a version of Vicky in SL. hars and his Ookoi
compagnon
Peter Mertens (aka frans peterman) was very involved in the rehearsals
to make the
premiere of Vicky´s Mosquitos #13 on the 14th march 2007 in a
mixed reality
context as Ookoi was invited at The Waag festival in Amsterdam on this
date and
we all thought it an interesting thing to play with this piece together
with
the green dressed real Ookoi members present in Amsterdam at same time
as the
green dressed avatars was playing in Second Life. bingo onomatopoeia
was programming the aviophone for this piece (the
instrument we
played: see the glossary). vit latynina
made the choreography. hars and frans
made the green Ookoi dresses for AOM to wear. miulew takahe wrote the
score and
created samples and edited the Vicky voices in collaboration with hars.
On the
14th of march was the premiere of Avatar Orchestra Metaverse performing
Vickys Mosquitos #13 for both inWorld
avatar audience at art.think.box and in real at The Waag festival in
Amsterdam.
